FC Goa become first-ever Indian club to reach AFC Champions League group stage

FC Goa scripted history on Wednesday as they became the first ever Indian club to reach the group stages of the AFC Champions League, after a thumping 5-0 win over Jamshedpur FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur.

The Gaurs needed just a point to top the league stage of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2019-20 season, thereby clinching the AFC Champions League spot. They went on to do it in style, with a five-goal performance that floored Jamshedpur FC.

They finished top of the league with 39 points in 18 matches, scoring a record 46 goals in the process.
